The first coils 61 face the first magnets 51 of the first mover 11 in parallel with a slight gap. Further, the second coils 62 face the second magnets 52 of the second mover 12 in parallel with a slight gap. Further, at this time, the end surfaces on one side of the two first magnets 51 face the +X direction, that is, the second mover 12. The end surfaces of the second magnets 52 face the second mover 12.

The first FPC81 and the second FPC82 serve to supply an electric current supplied from the substrate of the smartphone 6 to the first coil 61, the second coil 62, and the image sensor.

Also, the third surface portion 821 and the fourth surface portion 822 intersect at their end portions in such a manner that the outline viewed from the Z direction forms an L-shape.

On the rear side of one of the pair of first coils 61, an external connecting terminal portion 815 of the first FPC81 is provided so as to face the claw portion 217 from outside. The first surface portion 811 of the first FPC81 rises forward from the external connecting terminal portion 815, and covers the outside of the one of the first coils 61. The second surface portion 812 extends from the first surface portion 811 in a right angle direction (Y direction), and covers the outside of the first frame 21 corresponding to the short side of the long quadrangular shape of the frame body 20.

On the rear side of one of the pair of second coils 62, a second external connecting terminal 825 of the second FPC82 is provided so as to face the claw portion 227 from outside. The third surface portion 821 of the second FPC82 rises forward from the second external connecting terminal portion 825, and covers the outside of the one of the second coils 62. The fourth surface portion 822 extends from the third surface portion 821 in a right angle direction (Y direction), and covers the outside of the second frame 22 corresponding to the short side of the long quadrangular shape of the frame body 20. The front end portion and the rear end portion of the boundary portion between the third surface portion 821 and the fourth surface portion 822 are provided with notches. Second coil connecting terminals are disposed on the outer peripheral surface side of the fourth surface portion 822. The coil connecting terminals are arranged two by two in the Z direction at the end portions of the second surface portion 822 on the side near each of the second coils 62.

The external connecting terminal portion 815 and the second external connecting terminal portion 825 are provided with a plurality of terminals that are electrically connected to the substrate of the smartphone 6. The external connecting terminal portion 815 of the first FPC81 and the second external connecting terminal portion 825 of the second FPC82 are arranged in series in the X direction. Thereby, the wiring of the smartphone 6 on the substrate side becomes easier.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the external connecting terminal portion 815 of the first FPC81 and the second external connecting terminal portion 825 of the second FPC82 are exposed on the outer peripheral surface side from the recess portions 915 and 925 of the cover 90. As shown in FIG. 6, the outer periphery surfaces of the first surface portion 811 and the second surface portion 812 of the first FPC81, and the outer periphery surfaces of the third surface portion 821 and the fourth surface portion 822 of the second FPC82 are arranged along the inner periphery surface of the cover 90.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the lead wires 5 of one first coil 61 of the pair of first coils 61 on the side where the first surface portion 811 is located pass through the guide groove 219 of the frame body 20, extend beyond the notches 818 and 819, and are drawn out to the outer peripheral surface side and joined to the coil connecting terminals 816. The lead wires 5 of the other first coil 61 of the pair of first coils 61 on the other side opposite to the side where the first surface portion 811 is located extend beyond the end portion of the second surface portion 812 on the side of the other first coil 61, and are drawn out to the outer peripheral surface side and joined to the coil connecting terminals 816. Similarly, the lead wires 5 of one second coil 62 of the pair of second coils 62 on the side where the third surface portion 821 is located pass through the guide groove 229 of the frame body 20, extend beyond the notches, and are drawn out to the outer peripheral surface side and joined to the second coil connecting terminals. The lead wires 5 of the other second coil 62 of the pair of second coils 62 on the other side opposite to the side where the third surface portion 821 is located extend beyond the end portion of the fourth surface portion 822 on the side of the other second coil 62, and are drawn out to the outer peripheral surface side and joined to the second coil connecting terminals.

In the smartphone 6, when an operation is performed to instruct driving of the first lens body 1 or the second lens body 2, an electric current is supplied from the substrate of the smartphone 6 to the external connecting terminal portion 815 of the first FPC81 or to the second external connecting terminal portion 825 of the second FPC82. The electric current supplied to the external connecting terminal portion 815 of the first FPC81 is supplied from the coil connecting terminals 816 of the first FPC81 to the first coils 61. When an electric current flows through the first coil 61, a driving force in the Z direction is generated in the first coil 61, and the first mover 11 moves in the Z direction together with the first lens body 1. The electric current supplied to the second external connecting terminal portion 825 of the second FPC82 is supplied from the second coil connecting terminals of the second FPC82 to the second coils 62. When an electric current flows through the second coil 62, a driving force in the Z direction is generated in the second coil 62, and the second mover 12 moves in the Z direction together with the second lens body 2.

As shown in FIG. 7A, a first position detecting sensor 691 is fixed at a position facing the first position detecting magnet 591 in the first mover 11 on the inner peripheral surface side of the second surface portion 812 of the first FPC81. With the second surface portion 812 of the first FPC81 covering the outer periphery of the first frame 21, the first position detecting sensor 691 is accommodated in the opening 212 of the first frame 21. Similarly, a second position detecting sensor is fixed at a position facing the second position detecting magnet in the second mover 12 on the inner peripheral surface side of the fourth surface portion 822 of the second FPC82. With the fourth surface portion 822 of the second FPC82 covering the outer periphery of the second frame 22, the second position detecting sensor is accommodated in the opening 222 of the second frame 22.

A magnetic position detecting mechanism detecting the position of the first mover 11 in the frame body 20 is configured by the first position detecting sensor 691 together with the first position detecting magnet 591. A magnetic position detecting mechanism detecting the position of the second mover 12 in the frame body 20 is configured by the second position detecting sensor together with the second position detecting magnet. Specifically, the first position detecting sensor 691 and the second position detecting sensor, for example, use a Hall element to detect the positions of the first mover 11 and the second mover 12 based on the change in the magnetic field by the first position detecting magnet 591 and the second position detecting magnet accompanying the movement of the first mover 11 and the second mover 12, and output a signal indicating the positions.

As shown in FIG. 3, a capacitor 892 is fixed near the second position detecting sensor on the inner peripheral surface side of the fourth surface portion 822 of the second FPC82. Similarly, a capacitor is fixed near the first position detecting sensor 691 on the inner peripheral surface side of the second surface portion 812 of the first FPC81.

The details of the configuration of the present embodiment are described above. According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. In the present embodiment, the plate-shaped magnet pieces 511 and 512 constituting the first magnet 51, and the plate-shaped magnet pieces 521 and 522 constituting the second magnet 52 are respectively magnetized in the plate surface direction, and the magnetization orientations thereof are reversed between the front side and the rear side in the Z direction. Thus, the range of the magnetic force line from the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 can be made smaller than the conventional range. In the present embodiment, the end surface of the first magnet 51 of the first mover 11 faces the second mover 12. Thus, the influence on the second mover 12 from the first magnet 51 of the first mover 11 can be reduced, and the influence on the first magnet 51 received from the second mover 12 can also be reduced. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, interference between magnets can be made less likely to occur in the lens driving device 8 employing a configuration in which the two movers arranged side by side are supported on the frame body 20 by the plate springs. Further, in the present embodiment, the end surface of the second magnet 52 of the second mover 12 faces the first mover 11. For this reason, the influence to the first mover 11 from the second magnet 52 of the second mover 12 can be reduced, and the influence to the second magnet 52 received from the first mover 11 can also be reduced. Thus, interference between magnets can be further reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first FPC81 is configured to have an external connecting terminal portion 815 provided on the rear side of one of the two coils 61, a first surface portion 811 rising from the external connecting terminal portion 815 and provided on the outer periphery of one coil 61, and a second surface portion 812 extending from the first surface portion 811 in a right angle direction and provided on the outer periphery of the frame body 20, wherein coil connecting terminals 816 are provided on the outer peripheral surface side of the second surface portion 812. Further, the second FPC82 is configured to have a second external connecting terminal portion 825 provided on the rear side of one of the two coils 62, a third surface portion 821 rising from the second external connecting terminal portion 825 and provided on the outer periphery of one coil 62, and a fourth surface portion 822 extending from the third surface portion 821 in a right angle direction and provided on the outer periphery of the frame body 20, wherein second coil connecting terminals are provided on the outer peripheral surface side of the fourth surface portion 822. With such configuration, the FPC can be configured with two surface portions without requiring three surface portions as in the conventional technology. For this reason, it is possible to provide a lens driving device 8 in which the frame body 20 and the FPC are easily matched and also easily assembled.

It is to be noted that, in the present embodiment, notches may be provided only at the front end portions of the boundary portion between the first surface portion 811 and the second surface portion 812 of the first FPC81 and the boundary portion between the third surface portion 821 and the fourth surface portion 822 of the second FPC82, or notches may be provided only at the rear end portions of the boundary portions. Further, the first FPC81 and the second FPC82 may be formed integrally. Also in this case, since the dimensional accuracy of the first FPC81 and the second PC82 is not affected, the mounting positions of the first coils 61 and the second coils 62 maintain good accuracy.

Further, in the present embodiment, a ferromagnetic body may be provided on the end surface of the first magnet 51 or the second magnet 52. Thereby, the range of the magnetic force line from the end surface of the first magnet 51 or the end surface of the second magnet 52 can be further reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the magnetic position detecting mechanism including the position detecting sensor and the position detecting magnets may be replaced by a mechanism using other position detecting elements for detecting the position of the mover, such as a position detecting mechanism using an optical element or a position detecting mechanism using an eddy current.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the end surfaces of the first magnets 51 face the second mover 12, the end surfaces of the second magnets 52 do not need to face the first mover 11. For example, the first lens driving unit 91 may be left as it is, and the second lens driving unit 92 may be rotated 90 degrees. In this case, one second magnet 52 of the pair of the second magnets 52 is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the first magnets 51 on the side close to the first mover 11, and the other second magnet 52 is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the first magnets 51 on the side far from the first mover 11. That is, the plate surfaces of the second magnets 52 face the first mover 11. Also in this case, one end surface of each of the two first magnets 51 faces the second mover 12 side, and faces both end surfaces of one second magnet 52 at an angle of 90 degrees. Therefore, the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 52 hardly affect each other, and are hardly affected by the other.

In this case, the second FPC82 only needs to have the second external connecting terminal portion 825 and the third surface portion 821, and it is not necessary to provide the fourth surface portion 822. The second coil connecting terminals are provided at both ends of the third surface portion 821. The second external connecting terminal portion 825 is arranged in series with the first external connecting terminal portions 825. The first position detecting sensor 691 is desirably provided on the second surface portion 812 away from the second magnet 52, and the second position detecting sensor is desirably provided on the third surface portion 821.

Further, the second magnet 52 of the second lens driving unit 92 may be provided on the second mover 12 at a position corresponding to each side or each corner portion of the quadrangular second frame 22.
